Rant about PHP
You know a technology is declining when the most basic questions about its most bizarre quirks are left completely unanswered for years.
#PHP is like that. Every day I have many of these questions. I look for them. No one asked them before, no one wrote about them before.
I'm baffled by the lack of curiosity and proactivity of its community.
I know it sounds like me piling up on people I don't know anything about, but I used to invest a lot of time programming in PHP. I went to conferences, I made some open source libraries for it, like a PHP kernel for Jupyter Notebooks, I even made a library to work with dataframes, tensors and matrices in PHP (although I lost this one because my laptop was stolen before I released... and I didn't had it in me to rewrite it again).
Then, the ones who I admired the most in that space, like Nikita Popov, started leaving it to work in more intellectually vibrant communities... and it shows.
I'm sure Nikita Popov would be much more gracious than me when talking about it. I can only speculate about his motivations, but at least I can tell you about mine: It was precisely about that same lack of curiosity and creativity that I mentioned before, it felt unbearably grey and sad.

On peut toujours trouver ridicule d’acheter un livre en se basant sur sa couverture ou sa typographie. Mais c’est pourtant ce qui m’est arrivé avec Le Backpacker Killer en naviguant dans les rayons d’une librairie en Belgique...

The 79th edition of De Programmatica Ipsum is out!
This month, we explore trust and its importance in human society and culture; in the Library section, we review “Geekonomics” by David Rice; and in our Vidéothèque section, we watch a video on the Veritasium channel where Derek Muller hacks Linus Sebastian’s phone.
